We've been hearing a bunch of exciting news from Xiaomi lately. The company is experimenting with Microsoft in order to port Windows 10 on its current Mi 4 handset, but on top of that, the Chinese company is also working towards a new smartphone.

The new phone has already surfaced in benchmarks showing us the specifications we should be expecting from it. The device is dubbed Xiaomi Ferrari and should make a debut with a 4.9-inch display with 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor clocked at 1.6GHz (octa-core variety). Other features include a 12MP camera capable of shooting full HD video along with HDR modes. Up in front we’ve got a 4.8MP snapper. Most importantly, Xiaomi Ferrari will run MIUI based on the newest Android 5.0.2 Lollipop.

Xiaomi is yet to provide the latest Google update to its range of smartphones, so those craving a Lollipop device under the company’s banner should be on the lookout for this “Ferrari.” It looks like we’re dealing with a pretty decent mid-range phone here. Recently, it has been rumored that the Chinese company is also looking to release a very affordable smartphone which would be offered with a price tag under $60 / €55 and pretty basic specs.
